Hi Dawn

Been away for several weeks now.

My family tree gets a look in every few months as it's pretty time consuming, so I guess next month or so I'll be having another little investigation.

Thanks for all the help. It is appreciated.

Hi Kersen

So Len and Connie were you Grandparents? They were my Uncle and Aunt on my Mum's side and they lived at 26 Muirfield, Acton with Nanny and Grandad.

I can remember going round there many a time with my Mum to play with the boys Richard and Michael.

Len used to work at the BBC, something to do with scene shifting I believe.

What a small world!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards

Hi Kevin 

Dad remembers you! He says Hello!
You used to live near salt hill park is that right!
It's nice to see some relations on that side of the family, theres only dad and Richard left.

[acftus]

We certainly did. The street was called Salt Hill Way and we lived at no 66 down by the park.

We moved there when my Dad died in 1961. We had lived in Maidstone from 1957 and my brother George was working near Slough, so it was better for us all to move.

Sadly George died in 1982, but my other brother Kenny and my sisters Rita and Linda are all fit and well.

I'm sure your Dad would remember them.

Haven't done family tree for a little while, but I'm sure now that the nights draw in, I will be back on it pretty soon.

Trust you are well

Kevin

I pass that road most days to get to work i live not far from the farnham road, very small world
Dad definately remembers kenny and rita as he mentioned them to me. Its strange he said to me not long ago that he wondered what had happened to his cousins.
I have managed to trace nans tree back to 1500s not hard considering they didnt move far out of a number of leicestershire villages, i wasnt having so much luck with granddads tree! Have you got very far with our side?

[acftus]

As far as the Pinnock's go I have nothing other than William's father George. The question regarding Edith was (I think) something to do with the names of the fathers shown on marriage certificates.

If you look at your Great Grandmother Sarah Pinnock nee Briggs, then that line I have back as far as 1830. Herein lies a tale - George Briggs (Sarah's father) was born out of wedlock in 1853 by Matilda Briggs. The father I have discovered was a scottish fella Andrew Scott who she married after George was born. They then had another son, Walter, who had the surname of Scott.

Curiously, both George and Walter lived in the same street in Tibshelf (where my Mum was born), so they were brothers with different surnames!!

When I get back to the Tree, I will be looking more closely at the Pinnock side.

As you say a small world with Slough. What road do you live in?

Kevin
